The site works fine for me, but the same software is available from Github if desired.

Note I’m recommending anime streaming software (instead of an Anitaku-like site) because it’s a bit less likely to be taken down.

As Kolanaki said, copyright holders killed it.

If you’re looking for alternatives give Hayase (formerly Miru) a try.

If you don’t hold it, you’ll eventually lose it. Plus sharing is loving, and if you don’t have it you can’t share it.

Acc. to my grandma, my mum almost got herself killed in a similar way, as a kid. Except that she was inside the wheel (a truck tire, more specifically). My aunt rolled the tire from a hill, and it rolled, rolled, rolled… and it stopped in the middle of a highway. She almost got flattened by some car.

[I miss grandma. She would always tell me stories like this, from my mum, aunts and uncle’s childhood.]

If we (people in general) do it, we’re being filthy thieves and the reason why everything is bad. But when it’s a megacorpo, it’s suddenly a-OK?

Screw this shit. Information should be like the air, free for everyone. Not free for the GAFAM chaste and paid for us untouchables.

Thanks!

1. It’s morally good when people access information, culture, and entertainment.
2. It’s morally good when the author of a work gets rewarded by their work.

Piracy is morally justified when 1 is a more pressing matter than 2. As such, it’s justified in situations like this:

• If, in the absence of piracy, the pirate would still not pay for the goods - because #2 is set up to zero (the author of the work is not rewarded anyway).
• If it’s impossible to obtain the goods without piracy. For example, abandonware.
• If the author of the work would get breadcrumbs of the money used to access legally the goods, and the pirate compensates the author directly (e.g. donation).

I ended picking Miru (from another comment) up to watch anime, so I won’t automatise the system - I’ll use the RSS just to warn me when there are new episodes. That said, this extension (to allow transmission to download from rss) plus this site (to sift the RSS feed, so you don’t download e.g. individual episodes alongside batches) could help.

I liked it. I really liked it.

It got a .deb version, not just appimage. Installed without issues.

The interface is clean, and I could easily find series that I enjoy, both on- and off-season. (Tested with DanMachi V and Hikaru no Go). For neither it felt like I was watching it from torrents, there was no stuttering at all.

I use MAL instead of AL, but importing the list was easy enough. It’s less one thing to do, great - now I don’t need to update the anime list manually!

Going to test this later, thank you!

I just tested this now. This is brilliant, thank you for the idea! I wasn’t even aware that the torrent site could generate RSS for search queries!

For now I’m simply following those RSS feeds through liferea, but later on I might even automate it further.

Like others I’ve seen been torrenting my episodes instead, but man… I miss the convenience.

Don’t get me wrong - torrents are great, but for me they’re the best when I want to binge watch a complete series and/or keep it indefinitely. I’m typically following ~10 series/season = episodes/week; I need to find the series in a certain torrent site, then download it, watch it, seed it… it’s a bit of a bother, you know.

Additional opinion: piracy is always morally good if the reason for your piracy is inability to buy something. That includes when the item is delisted, as in the OP, but also when you can’t afford it.

[I agree with the OP by the way. Specificities should be ironed out, but in spirit it would be a good law.]

I recently had to go through this maze. I hate it. And I’m glad that my PCs tend to live ~10y, this means that I’m not doing it again in the foreseeable future.

Guinea pigs perhaps? I didn’t post them because capy represents them as Caviidae.

They are, just like guinea pigs (their smaller relative). It’s just that the bauplan is rather close to a pig - stubby legs, roundy body, stubby tail.

I guess that just like non-crustacean peak performance is to become crab-like, mammal peak performance is to become pig-like? Cats*, humans, dogs, we’ll eventually get porcinised!

*except my cat. She’s a Schweinekatze (pig-cat) so she’s already pig-like.

Capybara:

Maps like this remind me that I suck at geography. Whoever annotated those things knows considerably more about USA than I do.

Pets? One of my cats found a nice solution for that: recruit some dumb human as her heating pillow. (The “dumb human” is me, by the way.) And when I’m not on the bed she sleeps inside a blanket folded in the shape of a pocket.

…although winter here rarely goes below 0°C, subtropical region and all that shit. If I was a bit souther I’d probably have some heaters in the bedrooms, and that’s it - there’s no reason to heat the whole house.

Urban Dictionary never ceases to amuse me!

This reminds me 4chan /int/'s weird synonyms for country, from analysing the word as “cunt tree”. Stuff like “vagina bush” and similar. Oddly enough everyone understood it, even when translated.
